BETTER OUTLOOK FOR YEAR "It takes more than a drought and a depression to daunt the farmers of Illinois, Missouri, and Arkansas, the states comprising the Sixth Farm Credit District. These mid-western farmers are starting 1935 with a spirit of confidence and optimism," F. W. Niemeyer, general agent of the Farm Credit Administration of St Louis, said here today (Jan. 23i in a conference of general agents of the 12 Farm Credit Administration dis tricts. "This confidence," he continued, "is stimulated by the heavy fall and winter rains which are soaking into the field and pastures parched by last summer's drought In addition, threatening debts have been refinanced over a long period of time at lower interest rates by land bank and commissioner's loans, and ample facilities for low cost credit for crops and livestock production are available through production credit associations." Mr. Niemeyer stated that already the production credit associations in the Sixth District are beginning to receive a large number of applic tions for loans to finance the 1935 farming operations. Last year, these associations in Illinois, Missouri and Arkansas loaned more than $6,000,- 000 to 13,000 farmers. "The majority of these borrowers have repaid their last year's loans," Mr. Niemeyer said. "Having foun-a sound, lowjcost source of credit they are getting their applications in early for new loans and are bringing their neighbors along with them. K. C.

Miss Georgee Hash, of Gentry, an instructor in Albany high school, this week formally announced for the office of county superintendent of schools subject to the will of the voters at the election on Tuesday, April 2, 1935. Her political announcement appears elsewhere in this paper. Miss Hash is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clinton B. Hash, of Gentry, one of the well known families in Bogle township. Mr. Hash is farmer and also a mail carrier out of the Gentry postoffice. Miss Hash is a graduate of Albany high school and after finishing her work there, attended Palmer College for that two-year course. She then attended Park College at Parkville, Mo., from which institution she holds her A. B. Degree. She also has taught two year in grades at Gentry and one year in rural high school at Alanthus. For the past two summers, the candidate has been at the University of Chicago, studying in English and education. Miss Hash has taught English, French, citizenship and public speaking in the Albany high school for the past seven years. In that time she has built up a wide circle of friends who have urged her to make the race for county superin tendent of schools. Miss Hash will continue with her duties in the Albany schools, but plans to make as intensive a campaign as she possibly can in the weeks between now and the election. She will appreciate your support and your votes. . BASIS FOR CORN PAYMENTS The yield upon which corn payments will be based in 1935 will be the average estimated corn yield per acre for all crop land in the farm which h3 been in corn at least once during the last five years. In making an appraisal on a particular farm, the local corn-hog committee will ascertain the area, all parts of which have, been in .corn yet least once during the years which have been in corn at least once during the years 1930-34, inclusive, and the estimate what the average yield would be on this entire area if all of it were in com in 1935, assuming that weather conditions and other factors affecting yield would be similar in 1935 to the average of such conditions and such factors for the 10 year period, 1924-33, inclusive. In 1934, the basis for payment was the average yield estimated for the particular acres kept out of corn production and contracted to the Sec retary of Agriculture. The yield basis was modified this year in view of the fact that the acres shifted from corn production were not to be set aside and limited to certain Uses. Tho 1935 contract provides that: (a) tho corn acres may be located on any part of the farm: (b) a definite tract of land equal to the adjust ment in com acreage will not have to be set aside for limited use and designated as "contracted acres" as was the ease in 1934: (c) no limits tion is placed on total acreage of any commodity other than corn; and (d) no limitation is 'mposed on the to tal acreage planted to cash-grain or feed-jrrain crops. Furthermore, no limitation is being imposed in 1935 on the number of livestock other than hogs kept for sale or produce. ONLY SON PASSED AWAY Earl Thomas, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Marion Brandt passed away Wednesday night, at 11:30, at the home of Mrs. Julia Carpenter of this city. Earl Thomas had not been in good health for several months, and about six weeks took his bed, euffering from enlargement of the liver.

ROY WOODARD WAS BUSY FIRING THE FURNACE Roy Woodard, the janitor at the school buildings here, was certainly a busy fireman last Sunday and Monday.The cold spell, or blizzard that one might call it, struck here Saturday afternoon.

He was back on the job early Monday morning at 3:00 o'clock and fired all during the day.

HAD PERMISSION TO USE CLUB ROOMS FOB DANCING In our article last week, ' headed, "Put Padlock On The Commercial Club Room," we stated that "it seems that permission was not given for this purpose." Our attention has been called to the fact that the Prrty$t'cf the Commercial Club gave the young lady in charge of the dancinz lessons permission to use the rooms for that purpose until a vote could be taken by the club members. The vote was taken at the last regular meeting and the use of the rooms for dancing les sons was voted down. To the young lady in charge of the dancing lessons, we owe an apology. In the meantime, may she find a suitable location for her enterprise, T. B. TESTING OF CATTLE RESUMED Dr. Pemberton reports that he and two other veterinarians are back in Gentry County to clean up the T. B. Testing of cattle.

B. test write L. A. Saunders, County Agent, Albany, giving your name and location of farm and you will be taken care of. This T.

SODA SHOP TO NEW LOCATION NEXT WEEK William Danbury will move his Soda Shop from its present location one door-south of the postoffice, to the new building, some time next week. The new building will be the finest and most up-to-date in King City and will prove quite an addition to the appearance of Main street It takes quite a bit of nerve and a lot of money, to put up a building like Mr. Danbury is completing, as very few buildings are being erected in towns the sise of King City just now, and we nope nis investment may prove profitable.

STEPPED ON THE GAS The Union Star High School bas ketball team stepped on the gas in a game of ball there Tuesday night, when they defeated the Wildkat basketball team of this place by a score of 37 to 9. We sometimes wish that we could turn out a good football team and top it off with a good basketball team just one time. The Union Star boys were practicing basketball while the local boys were playing football and that is some handicap. When it comes to good basketball teams, Union Star usually furnishes them, and they have an unusually good high school coach there in Prof. W. F. Gillman. TO TIENTEIN, CHINA SOON The Messrs.

Bureau of Agricultural Economics Twelve to thirteen dol lar cattle are back again after an absence of 4 years. Chicago hit the $13.00 mark early this week and Missouri River points bettered $12.00 by a good margin, the St. Joseph top reaching $12.35 today on 2 loads of 1174-lb. steers that were choice but not highest possible finish. Consequently, this did not represent the extreme quotable limit for choice to prime finish. The interesting record of these cattle, which were appraised at $8.00 in mid-December and have paid a 6-week's additional board bill by a $4.35 rise in value in a representative instance of the spectacular recent advance in the market Prices for 3 days this week show a 35-50c gain on good and choice grades; lower grades strong to 25c higher; all cows 25-50c higher; bulls 25c higher; vealers and calves 50 to mostly $1.00 up. Two loads of fairly choice 763-lb. heifers today brought $8.90; strictly choice kind would bring $10.00. Top vealers command $9.00. Supplies have been very moderate, totaling only $9,000 at 7 markets in 3 days, a decrease of 30,000 or 25c from last week. Total hog supplies are little different this week than last Monday's harply reduced total having been made up yesterday and today. This caused a reduction from Monday's higher prices and top today at $7.85 showed a little change from a week ixif) when top was $7.80. Monday, the top wis $8.15 and the local average price of $7.81) was highest since January f, and with that single ex-teption the highest since December, 1930. Quality of hogs is steadily improving although still running to much lighter than normal weights. Lambs and yearlings broke 35-50c today, lowering the top to $9.00 from $9.35 yesterday and Monday, at which level they stood as high as any time since last spring. The market has become unusually sentitive to supply variations, which is a reflection of the fact that wholesale prices of dressed lamb do not show the same recent advance as lambs. Yearlings sold up to $8.25 yesterday but stopped at $7.75 today;two-year-olds tl.OO: best fat ewes $5.10: 3 ! loads 73-lb. feeding lambs $7.75.

BASIS FOR CORN PAYMENTS The yield upon which corn payments will be based in 1935 will be the average estimated corn yield per acre for all crop land in the farm which h3 been in corn at least once during the last five years. In making an appraisal on a particular farm, the local corn-hog committee will ascertain the area, all parts of which have, been in .corn yet least once during the years which have been in corn at least once during the years 1930-34, inclusive, and the estimate what the average yield would be on this entire area if all of it were in com in 1935, assuming that weather conditions and other factors affecting yield would be similar in 1935 to the average of such conditions and such factors for the 10 year period, 1924-33, inclusive. In 1934, the basis for payment was the average yield estimated for the particular acres kept out of corn production and contracted to the Sec retary of Agriculture. The yield basis was modified this year in view of the fact that the acres shifted from corn production were not to be set aside and limited to certain Uses. Tho 1935 contract provides that: (a) tho corn acres may be located on any part of the farm: (b) a definite tract of land equal to the adjust ment in com acreage will not have to be set aside for limited use and designated as "contracted acres" as was the ease in 1934: (c) no limits tion is placed on total acreage of any commodity other than corn; and (d) no limitation is 'mposed on the to tal acreage planted to cash-grain or feed-jrrain crops. Furthermore, no limitation is being imposed in 1935 on the number of livestock other than hogs kept for sale or produce.

HAD PERMISSION TO USE CLUB ROOMS FOB DANCING In our article last week, ' headed, "Put Padlock On The Commercial Club Room," we stated that "it seems that permission was not given for this purpose."

The vote was taken at the last regular meeting and the use of the rooms for dancing les sons was voted down. To the young lady in charge of the dancing lessons, we owe an apology.

STEPPED ON THE GAS The Union Star High School bas ketball team stepped on the gas in a game of ball there Tuesday night, when they defeated the Wildkat basketball team of this place by a score of 37 to 9. We sometimes wish that we could turn out a good football team and top it off with a good basketball team just one time. The Union Star boys were practicing basketball while the local boys were playing football and that is some handicap. When it comes to good basketball teams, Union Star usually furnishes them, and they have an unusually good high school coach there in Prof. W. F. Gillman. TO TIENTEIN, CHINA SOON The Messrs.

Bureau of Agricultural Economics Twelve to thirteen dol lar cattle are back again after an absence of 4 years. Chicago hit the $13.00 mark early this week and Missouri River points bettered $12.00 by a good margin, the St. Joseph top reaching $12.35 today on 2 loads of 1174-lb. steers that were choice but not highest possible finish. Consequently, this did not represent the extreme quotable limit for choice to prime finish. The interesting record of these cattle, which were appraised at $8.00 in mid-December and have paid a 6-week's additional board bill by a $4.35 rise in value in a representative instance of the spectacular recent advance in the market Prices for 3 days this week show a 35-50c gain on good and choice grades; lower grades strong to 25c higher; all cows 25-50c higher; bulls 25c higher; vealers and calves 50 to mostly $1.00 up. Two loads of fairly choice 763-lb. heifers today brought $8.90; strictly choice kind would bring $10.00. Top vealers command $9.00. Supplies have been very moderate, totaling only $9,000 at 7 markets in 3 days, a decrease of 30,000 or 25c from last week. Total hog supplies are little different this week than last Monday's harply reduced total having been made up yesterday and today. This caused a reduction from Monday's higher prices and top today at $7.85 showed a little change from a week ixif) when top was $7.80. Monday, the top wis $8.15 and the local average price of $7.81) was highest since January f, and with that single ex-teption the highest since December, 1930. Quality of hogs is steadily improving although still running to much lighter than normal weights. Lambs and yearlings broke 35-50c today, lowering the top to $9.00 from $9.35 yesterday and Monday, at which level they stood as high as any time since last spring. The market has become unusually sentitive to supply variations, which is a reflection of the fact that wholesale prices of dressed lamb do not show the same recent advance as lambs. Yearlings sold up to $8.25 yesterday but stopped at $7.75 today;two-year-olds tl.OO: best fat ewes $5.10: 3 ! loads 73-lb. feeding lambs $7.75.
